Floral medallions and long fringe are two of the most recognizable elements of boho crochet style and this crop top stacks both into one make. The individual daisy squares work up as standalone motifs before being joined into the V-shaped bodice, so the project has a natural stopping point after each square that makes it easy to work in short sessions. If you’ve made the beaded fringe top, this one takes the fringe hem in a more structured motif direction.
Crochet Boho Style Blouse
The loop straps keep the construction minimal at the top — all the design interest is concentrated in the medallion body and the cascading fringe hem. Cream or off-white cotton shows the open petal detail most clearly, but a natural linen-cotton blend would give the fringe a slightly more textured fall. The lacy fringe top is worth bookmarking alongside this one for the same festival-ready aesthetic.
Materials
To get started on your blouse, gather the following supplies:
Yarn: Size 4 (Medium Weight) Cotton or Cotton Blend (best for summer breathability).
Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook.
Tools: Scissors and a blunt-tipped yarn needle for weaving in ends.
Sizing & Measurements
This pattern uses different “final rounds” on the squares to achieve the correct fit.
Small: Fits 32-inch bust.
Medium: Fits 37-inch bust.
Large: Fits 44-inch bust.
The Pattern: Step-by-Step
1. The Foundation (Make 8 Squares)
The Ring: Chain 10 and slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
Round 1: Chain 6 (counts as 1 Triple Crochet + Chain 2). Work 1 Triple Crochet into the ring, Chain 2. Repeat from * to * until you have 12 triple crochets and 12 chain spaces. Slip stitch into the 4th chain of the starting chain to join.
Round 2: Slip stitch into the next chain space. Chain 2, then work a 4 Double Crochet Cluster in that same space. Chain 5, work a 4 Double Crochet Cluster in the next space. Repeat from * around. Slip stitch into the top of the first cluster.

2. Size Adjustments & Final Rounds
Choose the final round instructions based on your desired size:
Final Round for Small
Chain 4, single crochet in the next space.
Chain 3, single crochet in the next space.
Chain 1, work 5 double crochets in the next space, chain 3, and work 5 more double crochets in the same space (this creates your Corner).
Chain 1 and repeat around.
For the very last corner, work 4 double crochets and slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the start.
Final Round for Medium
Chain 5, single crochet in the next space.
Chain 2, double crochet in each stitch until you reach the corner.
Corner: Work 3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets in the corner space.
Repeat around.
Final Round for Large
Chain 4, single crochet in the next space.
Chain 2, single crochet in the next space.
Chain 1, double crochet in each stitch until you reach the corner.
Corner: Work 3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets in the corner space.
Repeat around.
Assembly
Layout: Place two squares with right sides facing each other.
Joining: Use a Whipstitch along one side to join.
Zig-Zag: Continue joining all 8 squares in a zig-zag pattern to create the body.
Closing: Fold the strip so the ends meet. Fold the extra square diagonally and whipstitch the sides to close the main body of the blouse.
Borders & Straps
Bottom Edge: Attach yarn at the back bottom edge. Single crochet evenly all the way around. Work 2–3 single crochets in corner spaces to keep the edge from curling.
Straps: Attach yarn at a top corner. Single crochet to the tip of the square. Chain until you reach your desired strap length. Attach the chain to the opposite front corner with a single crochet. Repeat for the second strap.
Reinforcement: Single crochet around each armhole and along the chain straps to make them sturdy and prevent stretching.
Finishing Touches: The Boho Fringe
Cut: Cut 10-inch strands of yarn.
Attach: Fold each strand in half. Pull the folded loop through a stitch at the bottom of the blouse.
Secure: Pull the loose ends through the loop and tug tight to secure. Repeat across the entire bottom edge.
Clean Up: Weave in all loose ends securely with your yarn needle.
Blocking Guide
To make your crochet Summer blouse boho style look professional, Steam Blocking is highly recommended.
Pin your finished blouse to a blocking mat (or a thick towel) to the correct measurements.
Hold a garment steamer or steam iron about 1 inch away from the fabric—do not touch the iron to the yarn, especially if using acrylic!
Let the steam penetrate the fibers, then let the blouse dry completely while pinned. This will relax the stitches and make your squares perfectly crisp.
